AXS, SAND, MANA: How did the metaverse tokens react after the latest correction
Looking at the charts for the top 100 cryptos today, you would have likely seen a lot of near vertical drops in price as Bitcoin tumbled down by 8.20% in the last day to trade at $36,339.18 at press time. Meanwhile, Ether [ETH] dropped by 6.93% to hit prices of $2,728.08.

This has been a long-term trend for the metaverse asset, with users generally more keen on taking their profits.
